One who serves Me with unwavering devotion, transcending the three gunas, becomes fit for absorption into Brahman. Shankara reads this as devotion leading to the knowledge that culminates in Brahman-realization. Ramanuja sees unwavering devotion as the direct means of transcending the gunas and reaching God. The Bhakti tradition celebrates this as the supreme path — devotion alone transcends all binding forces. Madhva teaches that bhakti is the essential path — through loving service to the Lord the soul rises above Prakriti's forces. Abhinavagupta interprets unwavering devotion as continuous attention toward consciousness's own source, naturally transcending the gunas. Vallabha sees this as the heart of pushti marga — exclusive devotion to Krishna is the only reliable means of transcending the gunas. Tilak reads this as the culmination: the karma yogi must ultimately turn to devotion as the bridge to guna-transcendence. Vivekananda defines this devotion as total dedication to the Highest — through worship, meditation, or service to humanity as the living God.
